For your eyes only: improving Netflix video quality with neural networks

The Netflix TechBlog

Recently, we added another powerful tool to our arsenal: neural networks for video downscaling. In this tech blog, we describe how we improved Netflix video quality with neural networks, the challenges we faced and what lies ahead. How can neural networks fit into Netflix video encoding?

Seamlessly Swapping the API backend of the Netflix Android app

The Netflix TechBlog

Over the course of this post, we will talk about our approach to this migration, the strategies that we employed, and the tools we built to support this. Being able to canary a new route let us verify latency and error rates were within acceptable limits. Background The Netflix Android app uses the falcor data model and query protocol.

Snap: a microkernel approach to host networking

The Morning Paper

Snap: a microkernel approach to host networking Marty et al., This paper describes the networking stack, Snap , that has been running in production at Google for the last three years+. The desire for CPU efficiency and lower latencies is easy to understand. Upgrades are also rolled out progressively across the cluster of course.

Who will watch the watchers? Extended infrastructure observability for WSO2 API Manager

Dynatrace

In response to this trend, open source communities birthed new companies like WSO2 (of course, industry giants like Google, IBM, Software AG, and Tibco are also competing for a piece of the API management cake). High latency or lack of responses. This increase is clearly correlated with the increased response latencies.

Distributed Algorithms in NoSQL Databases

Highly Scalable

Historically, NoSQL paid a lot of attention to tradeoffs between consistency, fault-tolerance and performance to serve geographically distributed systems, low-latency or highly available applications. Isolated parts of the database can serve read/write requests in case of network partition. Read/Write latency. Data Placement.

The Three Types of Performance Testing

CSS Wizardry

The short answers are, of course ‘all the time’ and ‘everyone’, but this mutual disownership is a common reason why performance often gets overlooked. Of course, it is impossible to fix (or even find) every performance issue during the development phase. The reason I refer to this as Proactive testing is becasue we generally do.

How To Measure the Network Impact on PostgreSQL Performance

Percona

We often forget or take for granted the network hops involved and the additional overhead it creates on the overall performance. TCP/IP connection, triggered me to write about other aspects of network impact on performance. How to detect and measure the impact There is no easy mechanism for measuring the impact of network overhead.
